From TECHNOLOGY / TECNOLOGÍA, curated by Peter Westwick:
Twentieth-century Los Angeles was built on technology: the railroads that brought millions of migrants, and the streetcars and internal-combustion automobiles that ferried them across an increasingly sprawling metropolis once they got there; the massive pumps that pushed water from the Central and Owens Valleys and the Colorado River to a thirsty city; and, yes, the massive, whirling turbines, driven by falling water or hot steam, and the hundreds of miles of transmission lines that fed the juice to power-hungry homes and factories and cast the city’s web across much of the American West.
